I think that the terrain/elevation AREA files that one can download from
the SSEC/mcidas site are very good.  Are they not sufficient for your
needs?

As far as knowing about other sources of terrain/elevation/bathimetry
files that are readily usable in McIDAS, sorry, I don't have a reference
I can give you.

Cheers,

Tom
